The theorem states that a squared + b squared = c squared. The side labeled C is the side across from the right angle, meaning the side that we call C does not touch the two lines that make the right angle. Generally the longer of the two other sides is labeled B but since it doesn't matter which is labeled A and B you can label them however you want. And it doesn't matter because you are squaring both of the numbers and then adding them together to find the length of side C.
